Copy of Data between tables ( from Production to Test table) :Using File-Aid ( possible to copy only data between

two tables) Note

This will be useful only if the data to be loaded and the data already present in the test table are distinct - Add ( Discard Duplicate Keys) using this option; else the data won't be loaded even if there is single duplicate. By using this, need to make sure that the data with the duplicate keys can be replaced by the person who has already loaded the data into the test table ( mostly it should be with Christian Stotzem, Business users Alfred Mertes and Michael Zimmermann, Michael Weiss) - Add ( Replace Duplicate keys) using this option.

Data Copy ( Extraction) from a Production Table to a Test dataset

The Extract dataset can be a new one ( unallocated one) and the other values are the default ones which will be present already.

Values are the Default ones present already.

This is how the data in the dataset ( to which the data is copied) will look like.

Loading the extracted data from the Production table ( which is there in Test dataset) to the test table

Load Dataset which contains the data to be loaded in the test table ( present already by default) and the other values are the default ones present already.

This is the important screen All values are default present already. Care should be taken while selecting Load Processing Option Add ( Discard Duplicate Keys) Selecting this will ignore the duplicate keys ie. If there are data with the duplicate keys to be loaded from the dataset ( same as the one present in the test table), then those will be ignored and infact the entire load will be unsuccessful even if it encounters a single duplicate. So this will be useful only if the data to be loaded and the data already present in the test table are distinct. Add ( Replace Duplicate keys) Selecting this will replace the data in the test table with the data in the test dataset ( w.r.t the duplicate keys) and load the distinct ones into the test table as well. By using this, need to make sure that the data with the duplicate keys can be replaced by the person who has already loaded the data into the test table ( mostly it should be with Christian Stotzem, Business users Alfred Mertes and Michael Zimmermann, Michael Weiss)

This is because of duplicate key present between the data to be loaded and the data in the test table and Selecting the option - Add ( Discard Duplicate Keys).
